Wellington Phoenix and Auckland FC will face off at the Wellington Regional Stadium in the A-League on Saturday. The Nix are fourth in the league standings, while the Black Knights are top of the table after three games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After a very disappointing 2024-25 season, Wellington Phoenix have made a promising start to this campaign, still unbeaten after three games with a win a two draws to their name.
The Nix played out a 1-1 draw away to Central Coast Mariners last week. Summer signing Ifeanyi Eze has settled in nicely at his new home, now on two goals in three appearances.
The hosts had the second-worst home record in the division last season, but they have won their two competitive games at Wellington Regional Stadium this term.
Meanwhile, Auckland FC enjoyed a dream first campaign in the top flight last season, and they’ve picked up where they left off, now on seven points after three games (W2 D1).
The Black Knights saw off Adelaide United last week, 2-1 at home. As was the case last term, they’ve looked solid in defence, with last week’s match marking the first time they’ve conceded this season.
The visitors had the best away record in the league last season, taking 25 points from 13 games, including a 3-0 victory at this venue.
